iStar Financial Announces Second Quarter 2014 Results

Adjusted income grew to $28.9 million, or $0.34 per diluted common share.
Refinanced $1.3 billion of secured debt with longer term unsecured bonds, unencumbering $2.0 billion of high quality assets and enhancing the Company's liquidity profile.
Funded $167 million of investments during the quarter.

NEW YORK - July 29, 2014 - iStar Financial Inc. (NYSE: STAR) today reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014.

Second Quarter 2014 Results

iStar reported adjusted income allocable to common shareholders for the second quarter of $28.9 million, or $0.34 per diluted common share, compared to $4.4 million, or $0.05 per diluted common share for the second quarter 2013.

Adjusted income (loss) represents net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP, prior to the effects of certain non-cash items, primarily including depreciation, loan loss provisions, impairments, stock-based compensation and gain/loss on early extinguishment of debt. Please see the financial tables that follow the text of this press release for the Company’s calculations of adjusted income (loss) as well as reconciliations to GAAP net income (loss).

Net income (loss) allocable to common shareholders for the second quarter was $(16.2) million, or $(0.19) per diluted common share, compared to $(26.0) million, or $(0.31) per diluted common share for the second quarter 2013.

Capital Markets

During the quarter, the Company issued at par $1.32 billion of unsecured notes comprised of $550 million of 4.00% Senior Notes due November 2017 and $770 million of 5.00% Senior Notes due July 2019. Proceeds from the offering, together with cash on hand, were used to fully extinguish the Company's 2013 Secured Credit Facility. As a result, the Company expensed previously incurred costs associated with the secured facility, recording a $22.8 million loss on early extinguishment of debt for the quarter.

"This transaction supports our long-term strategy of becoming primarily an unsecured borrower, which provides us added financial flexibility," said iStar chief financial officer David DiStaso. "Secured debt now represents only 16% of our total debt, down from 49% prior to this refinancing."
 
The transaction allowed iStar to unencumber $2.0 billion of collateral, primarily comprised of net lease assets and performing loans. Further, it enhances the Company's liquidity profile by enabling iStar to retain 100% of proceeds from asset repayments and sales associated with these previously encumbered assets.

The Company's only remaining secured credit facility is its 2012 Secured Credit Facility. During the quarter, the Company repaid $26.2 million on this facility, bringing the remaining balance to $391.9 million at June 30, 2014.

The Company’s weighted average cost of debt for the second quarter was 5.5%, an improvement from 5.6% for the first quarter of 2014. The Company’s leverage was 2.1x at June 30, 2014, unchanged from the prior quarter and at the low end of the Company’s targeted range of 2.0x2.5x. Please see the financial tables that follow the text of this press release for a calculation of the Company’s leverage.

Investment Activity

During the second quarter, iStar funded a total of $167.1 million of investments, comprised of $117.0 million of new originations and $50.1 million associated with ongoing developments and prior financing commitments.

iStar generated $170.2 million of proceeds from its portfolio during the second quarter, which included $115.5 million from repayments and sales of loans within its real estate finance portfolio, $48.0 million from sales of operating properties and $6.7 million of proceeds across other segments.

In addition, the Company recognized $23.4 million of earnings from equity method investments during the second quarter from one of its strategic investments.

At the end of the second quarter, iStar had $356.5 million of cash, which will be used primarily to fund future investment activity.

Real Estate Finance

At June 30, 2014, the Company’s real estate finance portfolio totaled $1.49 billion, gross of general loan loss reserves.

The portfolio included $1.39 billion of performing loans with a weighted average last dollar loan-to-value ratio of 71% and a weighted average maturity of 2.4 years. The performing loans included $726.9 million of first mortgages / senior loans and $666.2 million of mezzanine / subordinated debt.

At June 30, 2014, the Company’s non-performing loans (NPLs) had a carrying value of $94.0 million, which represents a 54% reduction from $203.2 million at the end of the first quarter. Resolutions during the quarter included the sales of NPLs for which the Company recognized $19.0 million of gains relative to their carrying value, as well as receipt of title to certain properties.

For the second quarter, the Company recorded a $2.8 million reversal of its loan loss provision, compared to a provision for loan losses of $5.0 million in the second quarter of 2013. At June 30, 2014, loan loss reserves totaled $137.9 million, or 9.8% of the total value of loans.

At the end of the quarter, iStar’s net lease portfolio totaled $1.65 billion, gross of $352.4 million of accumulated depreciation. The Company’s net lease portfolio totaled 20 million square feet across 33 states. Occupancy for the portfolio was 94.4% at the end of the quarter, with a weighted average remaining lease term of 11.2 years. The occupied assets generated an unleveraged yield of 8.2% and the total net lease portfolio generated an unleveraged yield of 7.7% for the quarter.

At the end of the quarter, the Company’s operating properties portfolio totaled $992.1 million, gross of $86.7 million of accumulated depreciation, and was comprised of $764.9 million of commercial and $227.2 million of residential real estate properties.

Commercial Operating
 
The Company’s commercial operating properties represent a diverse pool of assets across a broad range of geographies and collateral types such as office, retail and hotel properties. These properties generated $28.8 million of revenue offset by $21.1 million of expenses during the quarter. iStar generally seeks to reposition or redevelop these assets with the objective of maximizing their values through the infusion of capital and/or intensive asset management efforts.

At the end of the quarter, the Company had $132.9 million of stabilized commercial operating properties that were 82% leased and generated an unleveraged weighted average yield of 9.0% for the quarter.

The remaining commercial operating properties were 62% leased and generated an unleveraged weighted average yield of 3.1% for the quarter. iStar is actively working to lease up and stabilize these properties. During the quarter, the Company executed commercial operating property leases covering approximately 32,000 square feet.

Residential Operating

At the end of the quarter, the residential operating portfolio was comprised of 584 condominium units, generally located within luxury condominium projects in major U.S. cities. The Company’s strategy is to continue selling its remaining condominium inventory and to maximize net proceeds. During the quarter, the Company sold 112 condominium units, resulting in $48.0 million of proceeds and recorded $19.7 million of income, offset by $7.8 million of expenses.

Land

At the end of the quarter, the Company’s land portfolio totaled $1.00 billion, gross of accumulated depreciation, and was comprised of 11 master planned community projects, 11 urban infill land parcels and six waterfront land parcels located throughout the United States. During the quarter, the Company invested $25.2 million in its land portfolio through capital expenditures.

Master planned communities represent large-scale residential projects that the Company will entitle, plan and/or develop. These projects are currently entitled for approximately 25,000 lots. The remainder of the Company’s land includes infill and waterfront parcels located in and around major cities that the Company will develop, sell to or partner with commercial real estate developers. These projects are currently entitled for approximately 6,000 residential units, and select projects include commercial, retail and office uses.

At June 30, 2014, the Company had six land projects in production, 10 in development and 12 in the pre-development phase.

During the quarter, the Company contributed a land parcel to a newly formed venture with a Chicago-based developer for the development of 1000 South Clark Street, a new luxury multifamily project in the South Loop of Chicago. The 469-unit building's convenient location will offer residents access to a wide array of shopping, restaurants, cultural attractions and Chicago's central business district, while at the same time providing a highly-amenitized resort lifestyle.

In Asbury Park, the Company announced that it has received final approval for the K. Hovnanian® project, “South Grand.” The project will consist of 28 luxury townhomes, situated directly between the City's urban downtown and the beach. South Grand is the newest residential project in the Asbury Park Waterfront, and marks another step forward in the rebuilding of this iconic beachfront community along the Jersey shore. iStar has already begun general infrastructure work around the project site, and is expected to start delivering finished townhome lots in the fall.

_______________________________________________________________________________
(1) Adjusted Income (loss) allocable to common shareholders should be examined in conjunction with net income (loss) as shown in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. This non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of the Company’s performance, or to cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of the Company’s liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund the Company’s cash needs or available for distribution to shareholders. It should be noted that the Company’s manner of calculating this non-GAAP financial measure may differ from the calculations of similarly-titled measures by other companies. Management believes that it is useful to consider Adjusted Income because the adjustments are non-cash items that do not necessarily reflect an actual change in the long-term economic value or performance of our assets. Management considers this non-GAAP financial measure as supplemental information to net income in analyzing the performance of our underlying business. Depreciation and amortization and impairment of assets exclude adjustments from discontinued operations of $70 and $427, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and $201 and $395, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Depreciation and amortization includes our proportionate share of depreciation and amortization expense relating to equity method investments and excludes the portion of depreciation and amortization expense allocable to non-controlling interests. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, loss on early extinguishment of debt excludes the portion of losses paid in cash of $11,514.
